Break did wonders for India, claims Ravichandran Ashwin – Cricket News Update
India’s young off-spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228, is ecstatic after his side’s victory in the five-match One Day International (ODI) series against Sri Lanka and credited the well deserved break for an improved performance.
The Indian cricketers have had a very busy schedule over the years, in international cricket as well as for their franchises, which lead to a deterioration of form last year, slipping down the rankings in Tests as well as limited-over
cricket.
Apart from being whitewashed in the Test series at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 emerged
as the new champions.
Since then, India did not play any international cricket before taking on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 in the on-going competition. With the last match still to be played, the visitors have already sealed the series 3-1, proving their class in all departments
of the game.
Ashwin, who has been an integral part of the Indian side since the last couple of years, expressed that the break has rejuvenated the side and the results on the current tour prove that.
The 25-year-old cricketer claims that the whole side is geared up for the upcoming challenges.
"The break has helped everyone to get back together. The general mood in the team has been upbeat. The freshness in the camp is actually helping," the off-spinner said. "This 3-1 will give us an indication that everything is right
and whatever we have done away from the field has helped us."
The pundits have slammed India’s bowling performance in the series, especially in the death overs; however, Ashwin is satisfied as long as the team is on a winning streak. He thinks that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s comprehensive victory margin in the
fourth ODI proves that the team is on the right track.
"We need to find different lengths at different venues. Last game we finished it with almost seven-eight overs to spare. As long as the team batting first or second has [outdone] the other side I don't think it should even come under
question," he believes.
